Google Photos can now no longer access SD Card????

[Dionnep777]

FRUSTRATED. Spent hours trying to fix this.

After the update, I can no longer sync my phones Gallery photos with my Google photos. I've never had a problem with this on my Droid Turbo 2. They've always synced fine.

I want my google photos to be a mirror of my phone's gallery app.

My Gallery Photos are stored on my sd card.

HELP!

Does accessing the SD card qualify as a separate privilege that needs to be approved?

I used to ask me to give it permission, as other apps did and still do - but now it doesn't. It just says that I have to delete photos from the Gallery directly as it does not have access to the SD card.

It has worked fine through many seasons with DROID on many of their platforms. After the Nougat update, this started. Grrrr.

Does anyone know how to fix this? What I can do to get it working again?

HELP.

thanks
